Brush each side of the whole wheat tortillas with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.

Dice the cherry tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and cucumber into small, uniform pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

Squeeze the juice of the lime over the diced vegetables and add the fresh cilantro and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

To assemble the tostadas, spread a layer of the mashed black beans over each crispy tortilla.
